The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) (http://social-iot.org) refers to the convergence of the Internet of Things and Social Networking paradigms for the creation of social networks in which things are nodes that establish social links as humans do. This concept is fast gaining ground thanks to the benefits deriving from the potentials of the social networks within the IoT domain, such as: simplification in the navigability of a dynamic network of billions of objects, robustness in the management of the trustworthiness of objects when providing information and services, efficiency in the dynamic discovery of services and information. The preliminary results achieved in this field are encouraging but significant efforts are still needed to develop concrete solutions. Indeed, the application of the SIoT concepts to real data, i.e., mobility patterns and interactions among objects in real applications, needs to extended to different scenarios to evaluate the benefits in terms of network navigability and service discovery. Additionally, the intelligence that the objects should be equipped with to implement the social behavior is sometimes excessive given the devices computation capabilities, so that different levels of social behavior should be defined according to the device characteristics. The effectiveness of the social-based trust evaluation also needs a more precise modelling of the expected malicious behavior of nodes in the IoT. Based on these considerations, this special session is aimed at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to identify and discuss technical challenges, exchange novel ideas and explore enabling technologies that cover a variety of topics in the SIoT domain including, but not limited to: * Topologies of social networks of objects * Social virtual objects in the cloud * Management of smart object links * Applications exploiting the SIoT concepts * Trust of social objects * Navigability in the Social IoT * Ontology for the social relationships * SIoT experimental platforms ORGANIZING COMMITTEE * Luigi Atzori, Un. of Cagliari, IT, l.atzori(a)ieee.org * Antonio Iera, Un. of Reggio Calabria, IT,antonio.iera(a)unirc.it * Giacomo Morabito, Ph.D., Un. of Catania, IT,giacomo.morabito(a)dieei.unict.it TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITEE * Ejaz Ahmed, University of Malaya, Malaysia * Martin Atzmueller, University of Kassel, Germany * Maurizio Fiaschè, Politecnico di Milano, Italy * Bin Guo, Northwestern Polytechnical University, P.R.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers - 2nd ACM Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security & Privacy (CPS-SPC) in Conjunction with the ACM CCS Datum: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:16:34 -0400 Von: Quanyan Zhu <quanyan.zhu(a)NYU.EDU> Antwort an: Quanyan Zhu <quanyan.zhu(a)NYU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2nd ACM Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security & Privacy (CPS-SPC) In Conjunction with the 23rd ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) Location: Hofburg Palace, Vienna, Austria Date: Friday, October 28, 2016 Workshop website: http://eecs.oregonstate.edu/cps-spc/index.html Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate computing and communication capabilities with monitoring and control of entities in the physical world. These systems are usually composed of a set of networked agents, including sensors, actuators, control processing units, and communication devices. While some forms of CPS are already in use, the widespread growth of wireless embedded sensors and actuators is creating several new applications in areas such as medical devices, autonomous vehicles, and smart infrastructure, and is increasing the role that the information infrastructure plays in existing control systems such as in the process control industry or the power grid. Many CPS applications are safety-critical: their failure can cause irreparable harm to the physical system under control, and to the people who depend, use or operate it. In particular, critical cyber-physical infrastructures such as the electric power generation, transmission and distribution grids, oil and natural gas systems, water and waste-water treatment plants, and transportation networks play a fundamental and large-scale role in our society and their disruption can have a significant impact to individuals, and nations at large. Securing these CPS infrastructures is therefore vitally important. Similarly because many CPS systems collect sensor data non-intrusively, users of these systems are often unaware of their exposure. Therefore in addition to security, CPS systems must be designed with privacy considerations. To address some of these issues, we invite original research papers on the security and/or privacy of Cyber-Physical Systems. We seek submissions from multiple interdisciplinary backgrounds tackling security and privacy issues in CPS, including but not limited to: • mathematical foundations for secure CPS • control theoretic approaches to secure CPS • security architectures for CPS • security and resilience metrics for CPS • metrics and risk assessment approaches for CPS • privacy in CPS • network security for CPS • game theory applied to CPS security • security of embedded systems, IoT and real-time systems in the context of CPS • human factors and humans in the loop • CPS reliability and safety • economics of security and privacy in CPS • intrusion detection in CPS CPS domains of interest include but are not limited to: • health care and medical devices • manufacturing • industrial control systems • SCADA systems • robotics • unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) • autonomous vehicles • transportation systems and networks • abstract theoretical CPS domains that involve sensing and actuation Also of interest will be papers that can point the research community to new research directions, and those that can set research agendas and priorities in CPS security and privacy. Submissions Submitted papers can be up to 12 pages including appendices and references. Submissions must use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (available at the ACM website) in double-column format with a font no smaller than 9 point. Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Accepted papers will be published by the ACM Press and/or the ACM Digital Library. Paper submissions page will open on June 27th, 2016. Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented by one registered author. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk immediate rejection. For questions about these policies, please contact the chairs. Publication of Papers Papers will be digitally published as part of the CCS workshop proceedings, and will be part of the ACM digital library.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Kuvs-elg] CfP ARM 2016 Trento Datum: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 17:00:52 +0200 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: KUVS-ELG <kuvs-elg(a)gi-ev.de>, gi3abs-l(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Call for Papers 15th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM 2016) held in conjunction with ACM/IFIP/USENIX ACM International Middleware Conference Trento, Italy, 12-16 December, 2016 IMPORTANT DATES (GMT/UTC-12) August 19, 2016 - Abstract submission August 26, 2016 - Paper submission October 3, 2016 - Notification of Acceptance October 17, 2016 - Final version The 15th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM 2016) follows on the success of over a decade of previous editions exploring how reflective approaches and associated techniques can support the life-cycle of adaptive middleware platforms. Such systems must adapt and tailor their behavior and properties to increasing levels of dynamism and unprecedented scales. Adaptation and reflection mechanisms must take into account novel models of computation and new classes of applications such as networked and cloud applications, the Internet of Things and their combination. Applying reflective techniques to open-up the implementation of middleware and related software platforms for interoperability, one-to-many deployment, and adaptability proved particularly successful and influential. Reflection by itself is today considered a baseline. Its combination with other software adaptation techniques has proven beneficial to extend the reach to different layers of the software stack. Further consolidating this approach can allow delivering the flexibility demanded by today’s ever diversifying middleware environments, which require higher and higher degrees of adaptability and resilience. ARM 2016 aims at providing researchers with a leading edge view on the state of the art in reflective and adaptive middleware, and on the challenging problems that remain unsolved. This edition follows the path initiated in recent editions, by bringing together experts involved in designing and reusing adaptive systems at different system layers, including architectural, OS, virtualization technology, and network layers, as well as in using techniques that are complementary to reflection. The workshop will provide an exciting environment in which to leverage cooperation among researchers. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Design and performance of adaptive and/or reflective middleware platforms; - Experiences with adaptive and reflective technologies in specific domains (e.g., sensor networks, ubiquitous/pervasive computing, mobile computing, Internet of Things, cloud/grid computing, P2P, Systems-of-Systems); - Cross-layer interactions and adaptation mechanisms including network, OS, VM & device level techniques; - Adaptation and reflection in the presence of heterogeneous execution and programming paradigms; - Application of adaptive and reflective middleware techniques to achieve: reconfigurability and/or adaptability and/or separation of concerns; reuse; and reification of adaptation techniques and strategies; - Incorporating non-functional properties into middleware: real-time, fault-tolerance, security, trust, privacy and so on; - Fundamental developments in the theory and practice of reflection, adaptation and control, as it relates to middleware and its interaction with other layers; - Techniques to improve performance and/or scalability of adaptive and reflective mechanisms; - Evaluation methodologies for adaptive and reflective middleware; guidelines, testbeds and benchmarks; - Approaches to maintain the integrity of adaptive and reflective technologies; convergence of adaptation. - Tool support for adaptive and reflective middleware; - Design and programming abstractions to manage the complexity of adaptive and reflective mechanisms; - Software engineering methodologies for the design and development of adaptive middleware; - Methods for reasoning, storing and dynamically updating knowledge about the services provided by adaptive/reflective middleware; - The role of techniques such as learning in the design of long-lived adaptive middleware; - Methods for asynchronous, distributed, control, coordination/cooperation among components providing middleware services; - Metrics on properties such as cost-of-adaptation, quality-of-adaptation, consistency-of-adaptation, yields.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Access Energy Harvesting and Scavenging: Technologies, Algorithms, and Communication Protocols Submission Deadline: Nov 30, 2016 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Access at http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/ieee_access/ IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Energy Harvesting and Scavenging: Technologies, Algorithms, and Communication Protocols. The operation of modern electronic communication devices rely on constant energy sources such as DC power obtained from AC sources via AC to DC conversion or small chargeable/replaceable batteries. However, in some cases, providing constant energy source is not feasible. Due to the advancement in technology, energy harvesting technologies can be exploited to power-up the modern day electronic communication devices. These energy harvesting technologies rely on energy sources naturally present in the environment, such as solar energy, wind energy, and heat energy.
